High Energy QR Code: Journey to Find Memory (8)

Get all the tasks at once, except for the bandits, the remaining five are all related to the statue.

"Thank you for telling me what I need to find." Lu Mingze happily waved his hand to Soi Ying, "But the clues are still not enough. Do you know where the items other than the holy sword and golden armor are?"

Shadows: ""

"Despicable humans!" A black shadow with a thick voice roared, "Don't be deceived by him, all humans came here to kill us monsters, don't you remember the lessons of the past? They!"

Hearing this, Cao Qian clenched her fists tightly, and Guan Ling pressed her palm against the big octopus prop on the bracelet, ready to fight at any time.

On the other hand, Lu Mingze stood in front of the two of them and asked before the first black shadow attacked him: "You mean despicable human beings? Aren't you human beings? Are you the same as the armors in the City Lord's Mansion?" ?”

He was really curious. Before, everyone had already guessed that the black shadows were probably still living residents. But now they suddenly said "despicable human beings". Could it be that they guessed wrong before?

The first black shadow was stunned when he saw Lu Mingze's face, and instinctively answered his question: "We used to be humans too."

The black shadows who attacked one after another were stunned one after another. They were all stunned and unable to attack due to the indiscriminate influence of "Overwhelming Country and Overwhelming City".

Lu Mingze kept hearing reminders of -100 points, and he didn't care, after all, it was hard to deduct all 15 million points.

He asked: "You used to be human beings, and you said that human beings are despicable. Do you think you are despicable? What have you done to have such an idea?"

A black shadow who particularly liked Lu Mingze's face triggered the "Princes of Fenghuo Opera", and she replied endlessly, "Yes, we became like this because we did something wrong. was punished."

It was a girl's voice. She walked out of the shadows and let Lu Mingze see her own face.

This is a sweet girl about fifteen or sixteen years old, but half of her face is rotten.

She was wearing a black robe, revealing her arms under Lu Mingze's sight, which were covered with black scales.

Lu Mingze was not afraid, he carefully observed the girl's face and arms, and asked suspiciously: "I heard from the statue that bandits will turn into half-demons at night, do you too?"

The girl shook her head: "We're not half-demons, we're just ordinary people who have been cursed. We can't walk in the sun, we can't enter churches to pray, and we can't get close to our former beliefs. This is our sin."

During the chat, the statute of limitations for "A country and a city" passed, and the black shadows regained their sanity, and the cooling cd produced aesthetic fatigue. A black shadow ran over and grabbed the girl and said, "What are you talking about to him?"

The time limit for the young girl's "Princes of Fenghuo Opera" has not yet expired. Her scaly arms seem to have infinite strength, and she broke away from the man and said: "He looks so good-looking, I believe he is a good person!"

Lu Mingze accepted the compliment of "good-looking" very frankly, and nodded: "I am indeed here to help you, and I need your help to rebuild the town, but first you have to tell me what happened here, What did you do wrong, how can I help you."

Black Shadow said distrustfully: "If you are really a good person, you will not be able to forgive our mistakes, and just want to kill us like the previous lords; if you do not represent justice, then in this city, Sooner or later, you will become like us and be swallowed by monsters in the end."

"Wait," Lu Mingze raised his hand and said, "I think your thinking is wrong. Mistakes are divided into grades, and punishments are determined according to their severity. For example, the bandits outside the city, their mistakes It is enough to be punished with capital punishment. However, some minor mistakes that can be corrected do not need to be exterminated. Labor reform is enough. Urban construction is imminent, and many people need to work together to build it. Why don’t you think about it in this direction? Just think about it. Killed?"

The black shadows were taken aback by Lu Mingze's words, at this moment the girl took the opportunity to say: "Prince, can you really forgive me?"

She looked up at the prince's handsome face affectionately.

Lu Mingze said: "It depends on what mistakes you made, what's your name? Tell me what happened."

The girl said: "My name is Lulu Ting, you can call me Lulu, the mistake I made was that my friends and I took away the statue's Sea Blue Eye."

Seeing that Lulu had already told some of the truth, the shadows no longer stopped them. They hid in the darkness and observed Lu Mingze's reaction.

Lulu's voice was very quiet, she said slowly: "That is the statue of the Son of God, the symbol of our town, made of the most precious gold and precious stones, standing in the center of the square, every harvest festival, we They will gather around the square, offer our tribute, and pray to the Son of God for good weather in the next year.

"We don't know if the Son of God can really bless us, but we have always been very happy. We have endless food and thick clothes. We will not be hungry in spring, and we can dress warmly in winter. Especially in autumn During the festival, we will hold a bonfire party in the square, and everyone sings and dances together. It was really fun during those days.

"But soon, the original old city lord passed away, and his son inherited his territory. The new city lord didn't like us singing and dancing in front of his mansion, so he canceled the bonfire party. He likes to go to other cities to participate in some high-class Society's gatherings, in order to maintain his decency, he increased the tax. He hates the gods, and does not let us pray to the statue.

"In the beginning, we could still survive. After all, our harvest was very good. But in the second year of drought, the harvest was so small, but the tax was not reduced. We didn't have enough wheat, and the new city lord would rob our family belongings.

"We were very hungry, but we were still patient until one day, a child took back a piece of gold, the golden armor on the statue, and he said it was given to him by the Son of God. The family was full of gold Therefore, in the hungry spring of the second year, someone took back the gold, saying that it was given by the Son of God.

"The gold on the statue is getting less and less. At the beginning, everyone picked up the inconspicuous place to take it. Later, the gold disappeared, but we can live again.

"There was no gold on the statue and it became bare. The new city owner was very angry. He asked us to hand over the person who stole the gold, but every household took it, and no one recognized it, so he sent soldiers to every household. Search, took all our belongings and wheat.

"I was so hungry that I fainted under the statue. When I woke up, the statue's sea-blue eye fell beside me. I picked it up secretly and sold it to a nobleman at a low price. That winter I and My family survived, but I stole and it was my sin.”

Actually, halfway through the talk, the time limit for Lulu's "Princes of the Beacon Fire Opera" had expired, but she didn't stop, and continued talking. She didn't look at Lu Mingze until she finished talking about her crime.

After listening carefully, Lu Mingze asked, "You guys took the golden armor, eyes, and boots for the sake of selling money, but what about the holy sword and diamond heart?"

Lulu said: "The holy sword disappeared by itself. We don't know when it disappeared. We only know that one day, the chest of the statue was empty, and the diamond heart disappeared. A voice came from the sky, saying that this town Foolish human beings try to violate the dignity of God, and God will send down divine punishment, so the day of disaster has come.”

"How long has it been since the day of the catastrophe? How many justices came before me? Also, what is the final fate of the new city owner?" Lu Mingze asked.

"Twenty years have passed since the day of the catastrophe. I haven't grown up since that day, and the town's time has stopped. I don't know much about the sheriff and the new city owner." Lulu looked back while talking , seems to be asking someone.

A middle-aged man walked out of the shadows, and he said: "I am the leader of the people who survived in the town, you can call me Cook. For the past twenty years, every year a sheriff brought soldiers to take over This city, but they either died or fled in the end. As for the new city owner, no one knows where he went. On the day of the disaster, he disappeared. Some people say he fled, and some say he is still in the city .”

After hearing these words, Lu Mingze sat cross-legged on the ground and pondered for a moment, then said: "Theft should be punished, but the crime is not punishable by death, and labor reform is enough to build towns. And the problem is, you are really thieves Is it?"

"What do you mean?" Cook said seriously, "We didn't share the diamond hearts."

"I know, I trust you," Lu Mingze nodded repeatedly, "I mean, the valuable things might really be given to you by the statue."

He asked Lulu: "How did you get the Sea Blue Eye?"

Lulu said: "I knelt at the foot of the statue, with my forehead pressed against his base, and begged him in a low voice to continue to bless us, and bless us not to be starved to death, frozen to death, or sick to death, and then I fainted from hunger .”

Lu Mingze remembered that he was also sitting on the base of the statue, and when he thought that it would be great if he could look in the mirror, a bronze mirror fell off.

He said: "I think maybe the statue of the Son of God heard your prayer, but he couldn't change the decision of the city lord, so he had to drop his valuable eyes so that you can live?"

Lulu and the shadows were stunned.

Lu Mingze said again: "What did the first child who took back the piece of the golden armor say? Did he pick it up by himself?"

Cook shook his head and said, "No, he insisted that it was given to him by the Son of God."

"That's right, maybe it fell from the statue too." Lu Mingze said, "He heard your prayers and used his only wealth to help you. He voluntarily helped you. You are not stealing .”

"Really?" Cook said in surprise.

"But it's a bit too much to share the diamond heart." Lu Mingze thought of the empty heart of the statue, and felt a little sad, "Then who took the holy sword and shared the diamond heart?"

Cook and the shadows shook their heads: "We really didn't do it, how would we know that there is a diamond hidden under the stone statue? And even if there is a diamond, we will not share it, but sell it Buy food."

"It makes sense," Lu Mingze nodded, "It sounds evil to share the diamond heart. Maybe someone had some evil thoughts and hurt the statue of the Son of God, which caused you to be punished by God." .”

"Then you mean, are we innocent?" Cook said excitedly.

"If what you said is true, then you are not guilty." Lu Mingze said, "But if there is a crime of concealing me, it is not necessarily so."
